Do people usually figure out you're Filipino, and if not, what do people most often confuse you as? (In the US and Korea)

In California people usually figure it out by looking at me. I'm sometimes confused for some other sort of Asian if they don't.

In Korea, they don't think I look Filipino, at least the majority of my co-workers said that when I first got here. I'm not sure where they think my parents are from either, since no one ever really says what they think. They usually just ask where I'm from and then go, "Really?"

Ask away.
